Taz Taylor Band are set to release their 8th studio album "The Other Side Of Midnight" this coming May 14th.
Ten tracks of Melodic Hard Rock/AOR in the vein of everything from Michael Schenker Group, Rainbow, Van Halen and even Journey! As usual, and as you would expect, a lot of the action is centered around the guitar playing of Taz...but this time there is a difference. Is that a female voice I hear at the microphone? Taz has notably collaborated with some pretty heavyweight vocalists in the past. Graham Bonnet, Mark Boals and Doogie White to name just three. This time however things have taken a different course.
Taz explains..."After we completed our last album ('Nocturnal') with all of the guest vocalists, we needed to find a guy who could cover all of that material in the live setting. Well as it turns out, that wasn't as easy as we thought. In fact we had to turn to a girl instead!"
So into the frame enters Laura K. Vreeland.
Taz continues..."The cool thing about this is that after working with so many guest vocalists whilst still doing a lot of fully instrumental shows in between, this is actually the very first time that we have made an album with a vocalist who is actually IN the band! By the release of the album we will have been playing together for almost three years and the musical chemistry is incredible."
Laura states..."I was honored to be asked to sing for TTB; a little intimidated about covering the incredible talent from the 'Nocturnal' album but Taz reassured me that I had what it takes. Fast forward, I'm fronting an incredible, original Rock band and having the time of my life! Grateful Taz heard the power in my voice and decided I was the one for the job! The last two and a half years have been a wonderful experience opening for big name acts at iconic venues across Southern California, what a dream! Grateful to be a part of this project 'The Other Side Of Midnight', a Rock album of the ages!"
